A follow-up on changing the icon for an application. (1) You can only change Desktop from ResEdit if you are running Finder; MultiFinder has the file marked busy. (Desktop is invisible to Find File and Finder, but shows up in ResEdit fine.) (2) You need to clear the ICN# and the Version entry (empty entry consisting of the name of the Creator). (3) It will then recognize the new icon. ==== Does anyone have an idea on how to (1) Get the path to a CFile as a string? This could be used to open files in the same directory using fopen. or (2) Set the default directory for fopen. There must be a global variable that indicates where files should be opened. fopen sets the directory and volume information to 0, so something else must determine the actual values. Any guesses as to the names of these globals? You can get the directory and volume information from a CFile, so that is not a problem. -- Gary Levin/Dept of Math & CS/Clarkson Univ/Potsdam, NY 13676/(315) 268-2384 BitNet: gary@clutx Internet: gary@clutx.clarkson.edu
